PARRISH, Fla. - The Indiana women's golf team tallied a spring-best round of 299 to finish 13th at the Central District Invitational held at the River Wilderness Country Club in Parrish, Fla.
Indiana posted a 54-hole score of 915 after rounds of 304-312-299. Iowa State won the tournament with a score of 868, with LSU second (877). Texas A&M took third (881) with TCU fourth (887) and host Michigan State fifth (888).
"I saw better play today," said head coach Clint Wallman. "I think we did some good stuff. We definitely cleaned up a lot of mistakes from yesterday. Now we need to be a little bit better in closing and we will be in good shape for rest of season."
Freshman Lindsay Gahm moved up into the top 15 after a final round score of 70 gave her a tournament total of 220 (75-75-70). Gahm finished tied for 15th, and has finished in the top 25 in all five tournaments this season. Junior Kristtini Cain moved up to finish in a tie for 41st after a 1-over 73 on Tuesday. Cain posted rounds of 76-79-73 for a score of 228.
"Lindsay played a great round and again had a solid tournament," Wallman said. "She continues to get better, as well as Kristtini, and I am looking forward to good play from them as we head farther into the spring."
Four strokes back was senior Cecilia Orevik who placed tied for 55th with a score of 232. Orevik's score of 79 was added to her first-day rounds of 76 and 77.
Sophomore Jackie Yanch tied for 66th with a 78 on Tuesday giving her scores of 77-81-78 for a final score of 236. Sophomore Rosie Davies rounded out the group, finishing in a tie for 72nd (85-83-78=246).
